<DIV><SPAN class=284565220-05032008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually, there are
some simple registry modifications that force the PC to log on with a specific
user and automatically log back in in case someone were to log the user
out. In addition, you could use a program like "runapp" and specify IE as
the executable to run. Runapp allows you to open another application
that, when closed, will automatically reopen. All you have to do
is make the shell be something like "runapp.exe c:\...\iexplore.exe" in group
policy and that takes care of it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">You might also consider not
only running IE in Kiosk Mode but since you already use Group Policy to manage
users and security changing the default shell. If these are not multiple use
machines (IE Public Catalog terminals) You can change the default shell in
group policy from explorer.exe to iexplore.exe. Then run it in kiosk
mode as well. This would give you a windows PC booting to Internet explorer in
kiosk mode. If someone would close it out all they would see is a background.
No Start menu, Icons etc. Then if you use tweak ui or some other auto
login script you can just reboot the pc if someone closes it out and it
returns to the normal PAC state that it was in.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>We have been using the free version (v.1) of Public
Browser for our public catalogs. The old version is now causing problems
with our newly updated automation system so I’m thinking it’s time to either
upgrade to version 2 for $125 a year or move to a different product. I
would really like to use a “free” product so with that in mind are then any
suggestions. We basically want to keep users locked in to our web based
catalog (Polaris 3.3). We already use group policy to lock the computers
down and alter IE7, but I don’t know if I can use GP to do what Public Browser
did. <o:p></o:p></P>
